Puppybox,
Angel's litterbox is in the bathroom. Aide #2 didn't spend any time in there at all, just my bedroom. I scoop out her litterbox every day.

Dear Rennie Ellen,
on the Bedroom!!!
I'm so glad you have an aide. I am still just grinning over the very fact of it.
Congratulations.

Messimimi,
I'm so happy, too....and still somewhat in shock about it. A state caseworker called me today and asked how things were going with the in-home agency and I told her things were going great, that they've been a BIG help to me so far! They asked me if I wanted to add or take off any services and I told her for now to leave things the way they are. After the holidays and my crazy medical appointment schedule settle down a bit, then I can evaluate if I have enough hours and services to help me.
As it is, the aide comes M-W-F for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Six hours and forty-five minutes a week was more than I ever thought I'd get.
And I'm following someone's advice (can't remember who, but thanks!) to plan out what to do before the aide comes over. My bedroom was the worst room and it needed attention before anything else, and the aides and I got it stashed and dashed in THREE days! After the inspection, we can take our time and organize the bedroom closet.

Rennie, I lurk more than I post, but I've been following your struggles for a while now.
I am so gosh darned happy for you! So glad that finally someone saw the real problem and had the power to fix it for you. So glad that you no longer have the Bedroom of Doom (I had the Office of Doom at one point). So happy that you can get the assistance you need so that you can take care of yourself properly.
I hope things only continue to get better for you.
